Justice League of America #228 is an issue of the series Justice League of America (Volume 1) with a cover date of July, 1984.

Synopsis for "War -- of the World? (Part I of III)"

The Martian Manhunter races back towards Earth with a squadron of Martian warships hot on his tail. They manage to damage his ship sufficiently and forces him to crash land in the East River off Manhattan. His old allies in the Justice League try to help him, but J'onn quickly flies away with no explanation. They manage to catch him and get him to calm down, whereupon the Manhunter explains that the Martians of Mars II plan on conquering the planet Earth.

The Marshal, leader of the Mars II forces sends a robot liaison to the United Nations. This robot, the Challenger, issues an ultimatum, demanding that Earth surrenders itself to Martian control within one "terrestrial revolution".

As the Challenger leaves, the Justice League realizes that nothing may stave off a pending war between the two worlds.
